Yellow Eyed Grass

Yellow Eyed Grass (Sisyrinchium californicum) is a cheerful native of the Pacific Coast, found in moist meadows and coastal bluffs. Unlike its blue cousins, this species produces bright, lemon-yellow star-shaped flowers that sit atop flattened, winged stems. The contrast of the sunny yellow blooms against the grey-green, strap-like foliage provides a warm, bright aesthetic that is perfect for water-wise meadows and damp garden spots alike.

As a distinctive member of the Sisyrinchium genus, Yellow Eyed Grass is a "moisture-loving" native, making it an ideal choice for rain gardens, pond edges, or areas of the garden with heavier soil. It is a prolific spring bloomer and will often reward the gardener with a second flush of color if kept hydrated. Why you’ll love it: Vibrant lemon-yellow flowers, adapts well to moist or boggy soils, and provides essential habitat for native bees and pollinators.
